Speaker 2: I think it's solid gold old well and.

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: God's a caliber of our jokes a year after year.

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: But we did. We did have a big advance. You know,

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: it's been a fantastic thing, because when you put it

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: like that, eighteen years it is in this industry. As

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: you know, you guys are sixteen, I think, aren't you

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,120

31
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: can drink. We're a little bit older than you. You're

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: still in the clearest.

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: Like a little You're like a little Ashaye training.

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Wheels still on. We knew what show? Do you remember

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: day one?

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: Do you remember?

37
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: Because I remember us sitting here on the couch sixteen

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: years ago, day one? Do you remember day one in

39
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: the studio?

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do.

41
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: And the thing about our radio show, it only came

42
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: to fruition. I was working another radio station with a

43
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: mandra and she was doing show with Andrew Denton. And

44
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Andrew was sick for the week, so they got me

45
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: to fill in. And at the end of the week

46
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I was depressed, not because the show was terrible. I

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: was depressed because I thought, no one's even gonna let

48
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the show happen. I've done any dopey radio shows, and

49
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: I thought, this is the best best show I've ever done,

50
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: and it will never happen. So I took another five

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: years after that, so I was really I used to

52
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: pray at the window, go please, Amage, if you work

53
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: with me on breakfast radio, we will do great. I

54
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: know it so.

55
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: And why do you think it has lasted so long?

56
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 3: Well, at the beginning, I said, look, let's give it

57
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: two years and then that'll do like all our marriages. Yes,

58
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: but still going. There's something about how much fun it is.

59
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: You probably feel this in your job. I look forward

60
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: to it every day. There are some days that are

61
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: very hard, and some days where things in your life

62
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 3: aren't great or something's gone on. But between the two

63
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: of us, knowing that you've got a great mate in there,

64
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: that can make you laugh, that can make you angry,

65
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: all the emotions that we go through. There's something compelling

66
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: about waking up with your city and talking through the

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: talking points of the day and looking for things to

68
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: talk about and giving our opinions on things. There's something

69
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: so compelling about that.

70
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: Lots of people listen to you and go just having fun.

71
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: That's not even a real job, but there's lots going

72
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: on behind that, right well, it's not.

73
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: Really a real job. I look at like people making

74
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: cement and I used to make cement for a living,

75
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: and you know, as much as making cement's fun, this

76
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun, but.

77
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: There is there is a vi because three you have

78
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: to be as you know, every day three hours were

79
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: on air every day. How how many talk breaks do

80
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: we do every day? Fifty eight million? I'm announced, rock, set,

81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: fire and stuff as many time calls. But it is

82
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: feeding a beast, it really is, and it's not for

83
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: the fainthearted. We do have fun, but you have to

84
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: be rude.

85
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Guys done breakfast radio, you know you've done it. I

86
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: remember doing a show with Kylie a thousand years ago

87
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: at Triple Air filled in on one day, lads, you

88
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: were on the radio.

89
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: I just had to get up too early for here

90
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: and makeup.

91
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: Youtub are celebrating eighteen years.

92
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: We're not too far behind.

93
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: We want to take a walk down memory lane.

94
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: We found some clips from your very first visit to

95
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,520

Speaker 2: I gotta like that.

98
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Captain Cook came into Botany Bay. Saw Colonel. That was

99
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: the first word he said. Because it was a long

100
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: it was.

101
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: A long trip. When I come home from work, my

102
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: husband he may all be in a cave that sheard

103
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: the office. It's all the same thing. If he was

104
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: as happy to see me as my dog was, then

105
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 3: I would give him more time.

106
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: But he's put all that aging makeup on us.

107
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:39,480

Speaker 3: that lovely? The more things changed, the more they're satisfying.

111
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Advice for us? Have you got to get through for

112
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: us to get to the next couple of years? I

113
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: then we should all go on dancing with the stars.

114
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,240
